New minibar technology at HITEC
Bartech, a provider of automatic profit-generating minibar solutions for the global hospitality industry, will showcase its C32 automatic minibar product in the 2012 edition of Guestroom 20X,
futuristic guestroom model put together biennially by international hospitality professional association, Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals.
The latest incarnation of Guestroom 20X will make its debut later this month at HITEC 2012, one of the world’s largest hospitality technology trade shows, being held 25-28 June 2012 at the Baltimore Convention Center in the US.
This is the third time that Bartech has been asked to participate in the future-looking mock hotel room, appearing in three out of the five showcases that have been held since 2006.
Bartech’s C32 automatic minibar integrates technologies to increase profits, generate energy savings, improve staff efficiencies and maximise control of inventory and billing. With a capacity of 40 liters, the C32 minibar allows the electronic control of up to 32 products, including 12 miniatures or snacks.
The C32 model can be built to any size and specification to blend with guestroom decor and can be customised with choice of wooden or glass door with the hotel’s logo.
Bartech can incorporate three different types of sensor technologies into their advanced product design, including infrared, magnetic and micro-switch.
The company also offers a choice of server communication methods, allowing hotels to adopt the most cost-effective and efficient technology solution to seamlessly integrate minibars with its property management system. The five options include the ZigBee platform, Wi-Fi, coax cable, twisted pair and ethernet communication.
